Composition

Metformin (1000 Mg)

Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10 is used for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults when diet and exercise alone are not enough to control blood sugar levels. It belongs to the biguanide class of antidiabetic medicines.

In addition to its primary use, this medicine helps reduce the risk of serious diabetes-related complications when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. It works by improving the body's response to insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels.

Your doctor will prescribe the appropriate dosage based on your individual needs and medical condition. Always inform your doctor about any pre-existing health conditions or ongoing medications before starting this medicine. If you notice any side effects while taking this medicine, notify your doctor promptly. Continue taking the medicine for the full duration prescribed by your doctor.

Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10 is used for the following:

Managing type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults
Controlling blood sugar levels
Supporting diet and exercise for diabetes management
Improving insulin sensitivity
Lowering the risk of diabetes-related complications
Support for comprehensive diabetes treatment plans

Follow these instructions while taking Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10:

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet.
Take this medicine regularly at the same time each day.

Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10 may have the following common side effects:

Diarrhoea
Nausea
Vomiting
Abdominal discomfort
Flatulence
Taste disturbances

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Nausea and vomiting: Taking Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10 with meals can help reduce these symptoms.
Abdominal discomfort: Try taking this medicine during or immediately after your evening meal to minimise stomach discomfort.

Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10 contains metformin (1000 mg), which works on the body as follows:

Increases Insulin Sensitivity: Metformin enhances your body's response to insulin, allowing your cells to use glucose more effectively for energy.
Reduces Liver Glucose Production: It decreases the amount of glucose produced by your liver, which helps lower your overall blood sugar levels.
Delays Intestinal Glucose Absorption: Metformin slows down glucose absorption from your intestines after meals, preventing rapid spikes in your blood sugar levels.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Caution is advised while taking Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10 if you are breastfeeding. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Alcohol

Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10. Alcohol can increase your risk of developing lactic acidosis (a dangerous build-up of acid in your blood) when combined with metformin, the active ingredient in this medicine.

Liver

Caution is advised while taking Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10 in case of mild to moderate liver impairment. It is contraindicated for severe liver diseases. If you have liver problems, discuss them with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Kidney

Caution is advised before using Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10 if you have a history of any kidney problems. The medicine is primarily removed from your body through the kidneys, so kidney function is important for safe use.

Using Machines & Driving

If you experience dizziness or feel unwell after taking this medicine, avoid driving and using machines until you feel better.

Allergy

Do not take Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10 if you are allergic to metformin or any other ingredients in the medicine. Inform your doctor about any previous allergic reactions you have had.

Children

Caution is advised while giving Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10 to children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10 under medical supervision, as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10 interacts with the following medicines:

Cationic Medicines: Medicines like digoxin, morphine, and quinidine may compete with metformin for kidney transport systems, potentially increasing metformin levels in your blood.
Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors: Medicines such as acetazolamide and dichlorphenamide can raise your risk of lactic acidosis (dangerous acid buildup) when taken with metformin.
Kidney Transport Inhibitors: Medicines like trimethoprim, vancomycin, and ranitidine may increase metformin concentration by competing for elimination through the kidneys.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10 interacts with the following diseases:

Kidney Problems: Metformin is removed from your body through kidneys, so kidney issues could cause the medicine to build up to dangerous levels.
Liver Disorders: This medicine should be used with caution if you have liver disease, as it may increase your risk of lactic acidosis.
Heart Conditions: If you have heart failure or a recent heart attack, this medicine requires careful monitoring, as it could worsen your condition.
Metabolic Acidosis: Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10 is not suitable if you have metabolic acidosis, a condition in which your body produces too much acid.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10 should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage may vary based on individual response and condition severity. Always follow your doctor's instructions and never change the dose without consulting them.

Over Dose

Overdosing on Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10 may cause stomach discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and headache. In rare cases, it might lead to low blood sugar or lactic acidosis. Contact your doctor if you experience unusual symptoms.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue your regular schedule. Never double your dose to make up for a missed one.

Store Metwohn 1000 MG Tablet 10 at room temperature.
Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct light, heat, and moisture.
Do not store in bathrooms or kitchen cabinets where humidity levels may be high.
Keep out of reach of children.
Do not use after the expiry date printed on the package.

Maintain a balanced diet low in simple carbohydrates (sugary foods) and include more complex carbohydrates (whole grains, vegetables) to help manage your blood glucose levels alongside your metformin therapy.
Aim for regular physical activity—at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week—as this improves insulin sensitivity and helps control type 2 diabetes.
